Default Form to add data

Can a form be made to add data by just keying a number ID and then the rest
of the information will appear plus a blank cell for the new data. My table
has product information and each one has a separate ID number. I want a
input form where when you key in the product ID you then can see the other
information plus the blank field for the order amount. is this possible?
Thanks

Default Form to add data

Pepper,

The "other information" associated with the product ID is already stored
in the master product table. So therefore on this form you are talking
about, you don't need it to be redundantly storing this information a
second time in the table that the form is bound to. You just need it to
access the data from the main product table, and *display* it on the form.

There are a number of approaches that can be taken here. It might help
to read through this article:
